Has anyone...

Memoirs of a geisha - arthur golden I thought was great

poisonwood bible - barbara kingsolver also great...but long

for the suspense people...I loved deen koontz - intensity and stand - stephen king


a classic?...gone with the wind...
I'm going to bring don quixote with me to spain...

I am not a harry potter fan...although my DH loves them...they are great children's books, but thats what I feel they are (no offense to the fans...I know there are a lot just MO)

I loved the Harry Potter Books - they were so cute and an easy read. I didn't read #4!
Summer Sisters was good too - Judy Blume. My BF bought me that one for me!
I think I'm going to pick up another Joy Fielding book. I loved the first one I read.

A book club would be fun - let's think about it!

While we are on the topic of books - any good friends books. Since my BF is going to move out of state, I thought I'd also get her a book as part of her gift that kinda symbolizes our relationship! Any thoughts would be great!

Yabbobay - Im a big Koontz & King fan too. Another suggestion is King's Desperation...very scary to me.

I read the first Harry Potter book and while it was an easy read, it doesn't appeal to me either.


About a boy (if you haven't seen the movie already) is a good book if you can tolerate the english idioms.

I didn't care for the Harry Potter's either. I was disappointed though because I really expected to love them.

Cira ~ Best Friends by Martha Moody was a great book. It was very serious though. You might want to read it before giving it as a gift.
Dating Without Novocaine by Lisa Cach is a fun friend book. A quick and humorous read too! Oh, and also On the Verge by Ariella Papa. Another fun quick read, which is about three good friends.

I am waiting to read About A Boy. My sister just bought it... She's a very sloooooow reader though.

I have read all three of the books you suggested, and I love them all too!

Actually, I am about to finish Divine Secrets and I want to see the movie. I'm also thinking about reading the author's first novel, Little Alters Everywhere. Did you read that one? Is it as good as Divine Secrets?
